On 6 October 1995, at a scientific meeting in Florence, Italy, two Swiss astronomers made an announcement that would transform our understanding of the #universe beyond our Solar System.

Michel Mayor and his PhD student Didier Queloz, working at the University of Geneva, announced they had detected a #planet orbiting a #star other than the Sun.

The history of #exoplanet diacoveries is only about 30 years long.

But the search for Earth analogs is only getting started.

The epic hunt for a planet just like Earth

Exoplanet hunters Christopher Watson and Annelies Mortier explain the long search for a 'twin Earth' capable of sustaining life.

«Great geniuses throughout history — from Nikola Tesla to Mozart, from Leonardo da Vinci to Fernando Pessoa — have testified to this mystery: ideas "came" from outside, as if whispered by an external intelligence.»

Quantum Information Rules the Universe—And It Will Reveal the Ultimate Cosmic Mysteries, a Scientist Says

A growing field of information physics is investigating the theory of a quantum layer of information draped over everything. It could explain even dark matter and dark energy.

A much faster way to simulate the structure of the universe has been developed. It allows a better understanding of how galaxies form and evolve by computations that can be run on a laptop. See http://www.neat-news.com/3452.php. #simulation #universe

What Do We Do If SETI Is Successful?

The Search For Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) is evolving. We’ve moved on from the limited thinking of monitoring radio waves to checking for interstellar pushing lasers or even budding Dyson swarms around stars. To match our increased understanding of the ways we might find intelligence elsewhere in the galaxy, the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) is working through an update to its protocols for what researchers should do after a confirmed detection of intelligence outside of Earth. Their new suggestions are available in a pre-print paper on arXiv, but were also voted on at the 2025 International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Sydney, with potential full adoption early next year.
